How to trim the roses

The trimming of roses needed to consider different seasons, growth conditions, trimming purposes, and other factors. The details were as follows: ** 1. Trimming after flowering ** 1. ** Regular post-flowering trimming ** - After the first wave of flowers bloomed, if they were not trimmed, the flower buds might rot in the rain and breed diseases. Mowing can reduce the breeding of pests and diseases, reduce the height of the plant to enhance the wind resistance, and promote the restoration of flowers as soon as possible. Summer trimming could cut off 1/3 of the entire branch, and winter trimming could also cut off 1/3 of the entire branch. Take the blossoming branches as an example. First, roughly trim them. Choose the bud point facing outwards and cut off the branches 0.5 to 1 cm above the bud point. - After that, they would carefully trim and cut off the sick branches, weak branches, intersecting branches, dried branches, and blind branches. For example, blind branches without tops, weak branches that affect ventilation and light, inward growing branches that will form cross branches in the future, and sick branches should be cut off in time. 2. ** Nurturing and trimming after blooming ** - If you want to raise the seedlings after blooming (such as when the crown is small, the seedlings are small, or when the flowering consumption is large and the state is reduced, etc.), you can trim the flowers that have bloomed. When trimming, find a suitable leaf under the flower. Try not to leave the last leaf before the bud (such as a three-leaf, unless the leaf is basically gone), but cut it to a position 0.5 cm to 1 cm above the top of five or more leaves (such as five, six, seven, etc.). 3. ** Cultivated with good seedlings and heat resistance, trimmed after flowering ** - For the roses that had good seedlings and were heat-resistant, if they were trimmed in early May, the next wave of flowers would bloom in mid-to-late June. During the blooming process, you can first pull off the remaining flowers and not trim them immediately. Wait until the flowers are almost blooming before trimming them as a whole. If there were still a few flower buds that had not opened in the end, they could also be trimmed as a whole. During the trimming process, they also had to perform light irrigation (reducing the height of the plant) to make the buds from the middle and lower part stronger. ** 2. Winter trimming ** 1. ** Time to trim ** - Usually, the roses were trimmed in winter after the leaves fell (such as in Shanghai). In the south of the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River, they could be trimmed in the coldest season of the year (usually in the middle and late January); in the north of the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River, winter came early. If they were trimmed in advance, once the late spring cold appeared, the trimmed parts would be frostbitten. Therefore, the branches could be left a little longer when trimming. 2. ** Preparing for trimming ** - As the rose had many thorns, he needed to prepare anti-thorn gloves and professional trimming scissors that could smooth the cut. 3. ** Trimming Requirement ** - The trimming scissors should be sharp and sterilized in advance to make the cut of the rose trim smooth and avoid infection. When trimming, the cut should be inclined to the other side of the bud point. It can be cut flat or slightly diagonally. At the same time, they had to clean up the fallen leaves and dead branches left on the ground to avoid inducing germs and pests. ** 3. Other trimming conditions ** 1. ** Bottom branch trimming ** - Whether it was a big seedling cultivated by himself or a purchased one, the old and thin branches growing at the bottom could be cut off. This would leave a gap between the bottom of the pot and other branches, allowing space between the soil surface and the plant. The ventilation would be good, and the soil would dry quickly after watering, which could prevent rotten roots and leaves from falling off in large numbers. 2. ** Daily trimming ** - Once dead leaves and branches were found, they had to be cleaned up in time no matter what. A few days before the trimming, the branches and leaves should be kept dry, and reducing the water content of the branches and leaves was conducive to wound healing. The best time to trim was after the flowers had bloomed. The novel "Acanthus Flower Blossoms" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
